- Less than four months ago, Musk said he didn’t plan to sell anymore Tesla shares after offloading $8.5 billion of stock following the Twitter deal.
By the numbers: The world’s richest person has now sold some $32 billion in Tesla stock in the past 10 months, per Bloomberg.
- Representatives for Musk could not immediately be reached for comment.
